Barbed Wire and Wild Flowers (2002)

This original knotwork design painting shows four different wildflowers intertwined with barbed wire. The wildflowers represent the different biozones from the plains to the mountains of the Rocky Mountain region. The Cone Flower grows in the higher elevations, the Thistle grows from the mid-elevations out into the plains, and the Indian Blanket grows in the plains. The Rose grows mainly around human habitations. The barbed wire represents the impact of man on these environments. While working on the design for this piece, Elantu took long walks, making drawings of wildflowers before selecting the ones she wanted to use in the painting. She also studied barbed wire and noticed that when relaxed, it tended to coil into spirals - the Celtic symbol for ongoing life. Placing the barbed wire in spiral patterns in the painting represents hope for man's ability to learn from his mistakes. This painting is the first painting in a series featuring flowers intertwined with arious form of fencing.
